Viral Video Chart: The Muppets' Beaker tunes out and weatherman freaks out

We featured this video a couple of days ago, but it is just too good not to mention again. As someone pointed out: some of the videos the Muppets release on YouTube are great; others, like this one, are outstanding.

In "Beaker's Ballad", the shrill-voiced companion to Professor Bunsen Honeydew doesn't just sing his version of the 1977 power ballad Dust in the Wind. The Muppets take a witty swipe at YouTube commenters as Beaker is knocked down by a storm of annoying posts until his PC catches fire. Ouch!

3. Die Antwoord - Zef SidCome on, let's end the week with some real lovely white trash characters. Afrikaans rap group Die Antwoord went viral after being featured on the blog Boing Boing. And rightly so! A big guy, a blonde girl and a sneaky freak take stupid to the next level.

5. The Muppets: Beaker's BalladThe Muppets offer their take on another classic rock song, only this time they use it to comment on YouTube commenters. My personal video of the week, especially Walter and Statler in the end.

6. Dolph Lundgren - MelodifestivalenGet your grandmother in front of the screen: it's time to watch Dolph Lundgren performing a nice formation dance. If you wanna go for the real hardcore stuff, wait for his part (with Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger) in the Stallone-directed The Expendables, coming in August.

7. Rihanna - Rude BoyDirected by Melina Matsoukas, Rihanna's video is as explicit as it is artsy, and conveys some of her Jamaican dancehall roots.

8. Extreme [5-story high] Roof Jumping Into SnowWhat do you do when you get bored? Jump off the roof! Filmed by a neighbour, these Russian citizens use the deep snow to cushion their fall. However, the police think it wasn't a good idea.

10. The Man Your Man Could Smell LikeThis 2010 version of a Mad Men deodorant campaign bends gender stereotypes until they break. Masculine reinforcement, ladies! Too clever not to be watched.
